I&#39;m making some at the moment for presents, but am struggling with the topstitching. It keeps going wonky and I&#39;m unpicking again and again. I really want to do the topstitching as I think it looks better with, but I&#39;m just not getting it, especially on the curves and I&#39;m really trying to stich steadily (and using a zipper foot). Please, please, any tips you can give me to help with this bit? I am stitching through all layers, with main bag pushed to the side.<br />Thank you,<br />Ann<br />ps. sorry if this has been sent twice, not sure what happened first attempt.Annhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/ann_sews/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-69097611223891492552011-05-25T22:10:47.524-05:002011-05-25T22:10:47.524-05:00@Leslie

I&#39;m happy to help. Here is a tutorial that might be useful - it explains welts in miserably excruciating detail but it has a few photos that might bridge the gap between those steps you mentioned.<br /><br />http://www.ikatbag.com/2010/12/pockets-xx-zippered-welt-pocket.htmlLiErhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13022645291278425282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-6582443962616985432011-05-25T21:59:26.437-05:002011-05-25T21:59:26.437-05:00These are super cute!

I&#39;m stuck between step 3 &amp; 4 of the first part. I&#39;ve added the interfacing, and sewn along the long edges of the welt on the wrong sides (per the photo), then cut the slits for the zipper, like the tutorial says. The next step is to turn the fabric right side out in order to press the welt seams and add the zipper, but how do I turn it inside out if I&#39;ve sewn down the long sides of the welt? The right sides are now sewn together. <br /><br />I apologize if this is a stupid question, I just have been looking at this for a while now and can&#39;t quite figure out what I need to do, or if I should have sewn the welts differently.<br /><br />Thanks!!Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13658270931135448328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-87337125845669502272011-05-17T18:07:16.742-05:002011-05-17T18:07:16.742-05:00Thanks for this tutorial!
